Integrating ergonomic accessories can significantly improve your workday. And trust us when we say this, but they do! Not only can they help improve your posture, but they’re also great for keeping you comfortable and productive throughout the working day. Afterall, some days can be long and strenuous if you aren’t equipped properly for the task at hand. Therefore we’ve compiled a short list of some of the best accessories we recommend for your work or home office. Take a look!


 

1. Desk Risers

Number 1 on the list – desk risers. A desk riser is a platform that elevates your working surface, allowing you to easily switch between sitting and standing positions.

Desk risers are incredibly beneficial in promoting a dynamic work posture. They are a cost effective and simple solution to raising your desk height without having to purchase a whole new desk.

2. Anti Fatigue Floor Mats

So we’ve established that standing up while working can be a good thing. But what about if you like staying on your feet? Well, you’ll benefit from an anti fatigue floor mat. Anti fatigue floor mats are designed to reduce the discomfort associated with standing for long periods. These mats are essential for anyone using a standing desk.

Standing on a hard surface for hours can lead to sore feet, swollen legs, and general fatigue. An anti fatigue mat combats these issues by providing a cushioned layer that encourages subtle movements of your leg muscles, improving blood flow and reducing fatigue.

3. Under Desk Footrests

And for those of us that prefer the comfort of sitting down? Try using an under desk footrest. Under desk footrests help support your legs and encourage proper spine alignment. This simple accessory is effective in reducing pressure on your lower back.

If your feet don’t rest firmly on the floor while you’re sitting at your desk, you also run the risk of  pressure building up in your legs and feet, or worse – blood clots, which are associated with prolonged sitting.

4. Wrist Rests

Wrist rests support your wrists when typing or using a mouse, aligning them in a natural position and reducing the risk of strain. They are crucial for preventing conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.

At Ergo Outlet, we sell gel mouse pads which help minimise pressure points, providing comfort, protection and relief during long hours of computer use.

5.  Monitor Arms

Monitor arms allow you to adjust the height, depth, and angle of your computer monitor, which greatly reduces eye and neck strain.

A monitor arm is an excellent investment for anyone who uses a computer for extended periods of time. By adjusting your monitor to the ideal height and angle, you can maintain a natural, comfortable posture at all times. And as an added bonus – they help free up desk space, which allows for a cleaner, more organised workspace. Perfect!

6. Pop Up Power Modules

Pop up power modules provide easy access to power outlets and USB ports from your desktop.

These devices work great in modern office settings, helping to manage cables and keep essential connectivity at your fingertips, thereby improving the functionality and ergonomics of your workspace. They are particularly useful in conference rooms or shared spaces, where easy access to charging and power options can streamline workflow and reduce unnecessary clutter.

7. Ergonomic Office Chairs

Okay, forgive us – we know it’s not an office accessory, but it’s just too important to not include on this list. Afterall, when it comes to setting up an ergonomic workspace, nothing is more crucial than the office chair you choose. An ergonomic office chair is specifically designed to provide support to the spine and body, helping to reduce stress on the muscles and joints during long hours of sitting. This type of chair is essential not only for comfort but also for preventing long term health issues.
